The Bill and Lucille Sapp Lodge
In January 2019 we received a gift from our friends, Bill and Lucille Sapp, from Ashland, Nebraska, for a 12-bedroom building which we decided to call the “Bill and Lucille Sapp Lodge”. Several permitting issues + skyrocketing construction costs prevented us from building at that time. With Shepherd’s Canyon Retreat clients, counselors, the retreat chaplain, and volunteers who come without RVs, we are out of room! The Lodge has been redesigned with six bedrooms. During counseling retreats two bedrooms will be used as private counseling rooms; three bedrooms will house retreat counselors and the chaplain. One bedroom will be reserved for volunteers. The meeting room will be equipped with a small kitchen for use by volunteers. The Lodge will be built by professional workers with the interior finished by volunteers. We are now raising $150,000 which will be added to the Sapp’s gift in order to cover construction and finishing costs. The Lodge will be built in the Spring of 2023.
